My father was on the delivery crew from Westport NZ to Sydney. He worked as a fire stoker. He told me stories of the trip across and the weather that was encountered. How they lost alot of bunkers during rough seas and having to resort to burning deck planking to power her to Sydney. Such a shame for a graceful vessel, Like my father may she rest in peace. Hello.

Please send us some pics if you manage to track the steam plant down?
